Best Tom Glavine RC????

JAG85

Would you rather have his 1988 Topps Traded Tiffany PSA 10 or his 1988 Score Glossy PSA 10? Why?

prthd

Im changing my answer. I think I would go with the Topps Traded

Sorry, I just like to post that scan

When in doubt take the Topps.

Easily his Score Glossy in PSA 10, it was produced in a much smaller quantity. Something like 5000 versus 15,000 factory set made. I'd do a PSA 9 Topps Tiffany Glavine to get autographed.

JAG85

5,000 vs 15,000 is a big difference. How does one explain why the Tiffany sells for more than the Score Glossy? I do not have access to PSA population report, but perhaps there are more PSA 10 Score Glossy cards than PSA 10 Topps Traded Tiffany cards. That is the only reason I can think of.

Any thoughts?

much harder to find a centered tiffany.

It's the name Topps and it's limited.....when you look at the production between the regular issue and Tiffany....it's probably 500,000 to 15,000. I agree with the pop reports, I dont know them off hand but would imagine that to be the case.

The topps tiffany in a PSA-10.
There are 23 PSA-10 Topps Tiffany and
There are 106 PSA-10 Score Glossy.

saucywombat

Isn't that card from the base topps set and not the traded?

topps by the way

Stone193

I've got his Topps and Fleer.

I don't even remember what the others look like.

DerekD

I've always liked the 1987 Sportflics Team Previews Braves card. You get Murphy on it too.

leathtech

I went with the topps for my HOF auto set. IMO topps will always be topps.

So, if you all take the Topps Tiffany Glavine over his Score Glossy..

Do you also take the Topps Tiffany Roberto Alomar over his Score Glossy?

Tough to compare the regular sets vs the traded sets.

Centering on the 88 Score R&T Glossy Set is HARD

Also, wtf are all the sealed '88 Score R&T Glossy Sets? lol

Yes, im aware of the stated numbers. i still feel there are more of each Scores out there.

What's the print run of the Fleer Glossy? I've always said that the Fleer card, in all of it's forms, is the most aesthetically appealing, followed closely by the Score. That's not strictly an answer about value but it's my considered opinion.

for my money and my collection yes... those score cards kind of suck IMO.

Why do you feel that way? Do an auction search at any given moment and you'll find several more Topps Tiffany sets up than Score Glossy Traded sets.



<< <i>What's the print run of the Fleer Glossy? >>



I agree with you, Fleer's cranked out some very attractive sets in the late 80s, including the glossy issues. However, they were printed in higher quantities than the other glossy sets:

1987 Fleer Glossy: 75k-100k
1987 Topps Tiffany: 30K

1988 Fleer Glossy: 40k-60k
1988 Topps Tiffany: 25K
1988 Score Glossy: 5k/3k

1989 Fleer Glossy: 30K
1989 Topps Tiffany: 15k
1989 Bowman Tiffany: 6k

my statement wasnt clear. i wasnt saying there are more Score's then Topps, just that there are more Score's then the 3,000 "they said" they made

How do you know that there are more Score sets than the stated print run?

Considering that Score wasn't a huge hit in 1988 in the hobby shops where those Glossy sets would have sold, I don't really see them letting the presses run on a special glossy set late in the year if the orders for it weren't coming in. Heck, the 1988 Score R/T non-glossy set was tough to find regionally in the pre-internet era due to the lower production.

I like the topps, maybe I'm a traditionalist. See my Glavine on top of pack PSA 10 in the link below
